Welcome to Sneak Peek Saturday on Reading List!

Current book:

The Shattered Vigil

Patrick W Carr

Goodreads Summary:

Victory over the dark forces during the feast of Bas-solas should have guaranteed safety for the continent. Instead, Willet and the rest of the Vigil discover they've been outsmarted by those seeking to unleash the evil that inhabits the Darkwater. Jorgen, the member of the Vigil assigned to Frayel, has gone missing, and new attacks have struck at the six kingdoms' ability to defend themselves.Just when the Vigil thought they had quenched the menace from their enemy in Collum, a new threat emerges: assassins hunting the Vigil, men and women who cannot be seen until it's too late. The orders of the church and the rulers of the kingdoms, fearing the loss of the Vigil's members altogether, have decided to take them into protective custody to safeguard their gift. On Pellin's orders, the Vigil scatters, leaving Willet to be taken prisoner by the church in Bunard.

In the midst of this, Willet learns of the murder of an obscure nobleman's daughter by one of the unseen assassins. Now he must escape his imprisonment and brave the wrath of the church to find the killer in order to turn back this latest threat to the northern continent.

Sneak Peek:

"'Do not speak to me of what is possible when I have seen it with my own eyes! Do you think your solders can withstand a charge of gifted, King Rymark?"' pg 166-167

Initial Thoughts

I am so grateful that Carr is writing these epic fantasies. While they are clearly Christian fiction, the audience is in now way limited to Christians, and for that reason, I recommend these books... to everyone, period.

About me

Hi! I'm Marissa... a mom... and as a mom I know that the demands are never ending. We are in need of encouragement and support. I also know there is power in words, and reading is one of the best skills we can have. I'll try to share as many book reviews as possible so when you can squeeze in a few minutes to read, you know you are reading a book you'll enjoy. I review kids books, YA books, as well as a variety of fiction and non-fiction. I hope you can find something you're interested in. If you don't find one you like, let me know! I might have read it but not put it up here....
